Not only that, but they never have any answer themselves to address the problem of small boats. They'd rather the people smugglers thrive, people drown in the channel, and Albanians continue to come here illegally. Incredible.

No-one has denied his free speech If I say something on twitter my employer contactually prohibits & they sack me I'm still free to say what I like...I have just voluntarily resigned from my employment
I don't care what Linekar tweets on twatter, I don't care about sports or it's commentators. What I do like is the take down of smug rich elites. His face and tone were so smug when he said he wouldn't be suspended. What goes around comes around. Enjoy your crisps while watching MOTD presented by someone else 😆
It wasnt !! Many British people are beginning to see that you must support the extreme right or face consequences. But ur media is very restricted, mind u James O Brien speaks alot of sense , surprised he has not been forced to shut up too 🤔
The take down of smug rich elites, i am all for, that would be waving goodbye to the Tory party, dispite the fact they've recently recruited some support off working class areas, council estates etc. People need to see through these immigration policies, a problem Tories perpetuated for a long time, and see that they are just a party for the rich elite.
The only cancel here should be the defunding of the BBC and then they can carry on with ads or subscription. If you love Gary you can then pay to see him and enjoy the free speech
I always liked Gary Lineker until he got political and think he has gone beyond reason comparing our government with the Nazis. How can anything cause the BBC a financial loss because we are all obliged by law to pay the licence fee and that is the main problem. The BBC should be financed on a subscription basis.
It's not just the Goverment he compared them to, it's anyone that is concerned about our open borders and an invasion of free loading economic migrants costing us £7 million pounds a day.
I find it interesting why he even went political, this is the fundamental shift in society and the left have politicised everything and made it miserable imo. There needs to be anti political movements forming or we are doomed
Do people seriously believe that the BBC are politically neutral in all their behaviour whether that be what tbe employees say or think or what they push or don't push onto the public, not to mention the self harm they do to themselves when they piss the licence fee up the wall every day.
the bbc was founded as a government propaganda outlet for war time. why do you think they are neutral, and have ever been neutral, or should have ever been neutral
Paul the richer Gary lineker got the bigger his mouth got as he has more than enough money to not worry about working for the rest of his life, the time your referring to he still needed to make money.
Having been policed by my sports organisation for online comments, on my social media page, I am with Gary Lineker to have the right tomsaybwhat he wants. Yet, I stopped watching the BBC because of their presentation of political views, including those that work for the BBC. I stopped watching all mainstream media and stopped paying for the BBC.
Has anyone noticed that no one buys Walkers crisps, the shelves are always full of them, Lineker is as popular as Meghan Markle and lastly men will watch football no matter who is fronting the discussions !!! Lock him up and throw away the key 😂🙏🏻
Ok. Let's look at it from the other angle - if Garry's comments were different and on the other view point, and he expressed his concern of open borders etc., we all know he would have been sacked a long time ago.
You mean like not sending people to prison for not having a £150 tv licence- or mere minutes worth of Lord Lineker's football analysis? The BBC is not good enough to stand on its own two feet, quiz shows, unsellable soaps, repeats, and nothing even close to comedy. I hope it's put out of our misery, it's a middling class, Guardianista network of nepotism, cronyism, and metrobotic left wing clones.
The solution is simple. Either Lineker should 1) become an employee of the BBC, pay tax and NI like any other worker and observe their impartiality code or 2) go elsewhere.
Why does lineker himself feel the need to make his opinion known ? Alan shearer doesn’t. It’s not like he’s enlightening us with hot takes on issues, he spouts boilerplate, liberal guardian reading guff!
It is an example of Godwin’s Law, where eventually someone on social media feels the need to reduce their opposition to cartoon characters by a comparison to Hitler. It has been recognised as being inevitable and needy.

Nobody watches BBC news and current affairs. Lineker has a huge audience and is paid with a tax so should stick to football or be fired. What I can't fathom is why anyone is actually interested in his uninformed opinion in any case.
